A capacitor having capacitance with air, is filled with two dielectrics as shown. How many times capacitance will increase?

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
Key Idea : After filling with dielectrics the two capacitors will be in parallel order.
As shown, the two capacitors are connected in parallel. Initially the capacitance of capacitor
where is area of each plate and is the separation between the plates.
After filling with dielectrics, we have two capacitors of capacitance.
Hence, their equivalent capacitance
ie, new capacitance will be six times of the original.
